Ruthless Sword Master Pretty Snake Demon

Today, the sky is bright and clear, and the summer wind is smooth.

Ao Ye came to the tent where She Yanbai lived temporarily early in the morning, and said in a low voice, "The sky has been fine for several days, and some spies reported that the flood in the city is gradually receding, and there is no water in many higher places..."

"So?" She Yanbai leaned on the bed, raised her eyes and saw the tall figure reflected on the door curtain.

After a pause, Ao Ye continued, "I need to go to the city to take a look. You are not in good health, why not wait here for now, I will be back soon."

"I'll go with you." She Yanbai raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, thought for a while and said, "I only know you here, I don't feel at ease if you're not here."

After a moment of silence, Ao Ye said, "Okay."

After the door curtain was lifted, She Yanbai walked out slowly from inside.

Ao Ye only took one look, then frowned slightly, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

She Yanbai's skin is extremely fair, and now his eyes are slightly blue, like a drop of thick ink falling into clear water, it looks particularly conspicuous.

"I'm not used to you not being by my side." She Yanbai looked weary, and walked over to lean on Ao Ye, silently absorbing some of the breath in his body, and the discomfort on her body gradually disappeared.

Since he failed to cross the tribulation, only by the side of Ao Ye with the comfort of the breath in his body can he get a moment of peace.

But these days, Ao Ye was busy discussing affairs with a group of officials in the daytime.At night, he had to insist on sleeping separately, so that he couldn't see people during the day and couldn't sleep well at night.

Ao Ye was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he said softly, "If Yanbai doesn't dislike it, from now on we..."

He suddenly couldn't say the following words. After all, he was just a young man who had just turned [-] years old.

She Yanbai hugged Ao Ye's arm and looked up, laughing wildly, "Sharing the same bed? Or sleep on your feet?"

Ao Ye turned his head to prevent She Yanbai from seeing his expression at the moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "They live in the same room."

She Yanbai let out a soft snort, and her eyes spread, and Ao Ye could not be the master at that time.

Leaning against She Yanbai, Ao Ye ordered to the soldier waiting silently, "Bring a horse."

The little soldier trotted away as he said, and came back after a while leading a tall horse.

It was a war horse that came with them from the border, had seen blood on the battlefield, had fierce eyes, and was fierce and violent from head to toe.

Ao Ye was about to change the soldier into a docile horse, when She Yanbai waved to the black horse.

The war horse raised its head, broke free from the shackles of the soldier, and lowered its head docilely when it came to She Yanbai's side, seeing the soldier in amazement.

"I didn't expect Yanbai to be so popular with horses." Ao Ye carefully helped She Yanbai get on the horse.

Hearing this, She Yanbai chuckled, "Like it? Maybe it's because I'm afraid I'll eat it."

From a certain point of view, mortal animals are far more sensitive than humans. Even if they don't release evil spirits and coercion, they subconsciously know who is not to be trifled with.

Ao Ye only thought he was joking, and when he saw that he was sitting firmly, he took the reins and ordered to the people accompanying him, "Let's go."

"Your Highness, you have a noble status, how can you lead the horse yourself? Let the servants come." The little eunuch Fu An and a group of prince's guards rushed to the horse, and when they saw this, they wanted to grab the reins.

Ao Ye frowned slightly, his eyes pinned Fu An in place, his cold gaze swept across Fu An and the guards behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. .”

Everyone saluted and took orders.

Fu An raised his head, looked at the smiling She Yanbai on the horseback, and then at Ao Ye who looked like a groom, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, for a moment he didn't know who was His Highness the Crown Prince.

When leaving, Ao Ye thought for a while, and then ordered Meng Tianhe's subordinates to find two small officials from Jiangning Mansion to go together.

Xu Shi was frightened by Ao Ye's public murder that day, and the two petty officials took the initiative to lead the way, not daring to say a big word.

It's not far from Fucheng, and it takes less than half an hour to walk. Along the way, there are not only Ao Ye and his party, but also victims of disasters walking towards the city in twos and threes.

As soon as they stepped into the city gate, there was a disgusting stench. Everyone either held their breath or covered their noses with their sleeves. It took them a while to get used to it before they had the courage to move on.

The smell is like a mixture of mud and dead bodies and other rotten things, floating silently in this dead city.

Until the cries of the victims broke the silence like a thunderbolt.

"My home, my home is gone..."

"Everything in the house was washed away by the water, what should I do next..."

"I can't live anymore..."

The damage to Fucheng was far worse than Ao Ye imagined. There were countless houses that collapsed, and those that did not collapse were also damaged in many places.

Thinking about the rice seedlings that were swept away by the flood on the road, Ao Ye's heart was heavier than ever.

"They are all waiting for your order." She Yan sealed her sense of smell for nothing, and rode her horse without touching the ground. She was probably the most leisurely person in the city.

Ao Ye gripped the rein tightly, eyes deep, "Lead the way to Liu Henian's house."

The two Jiangning mansion officials flinched and hurriedly led the way.

As the magistrate, Liu Henian lived in the largest courtyard in the prefecture.Although some parts collapsed and damaged, it is difficult to hide its exquisite luxury when it is intact.

"Liu Henian committed a heinous crime, and his family property should be confiscated." Ao Ye said, "Go in and search quickly."

Everyone took orders and poured into Liu's house one after another.

"Your Highness, this, this, it seems..." A small official of Jiangning Mansion wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he didn't dare to continue talking under Ao Ye's eyes.

The little official's eyes fell on Ao Ye's hand on the sword. Who knew if he said something wrong, his head would fall on the spot?So keep your mouth shut,

"What's the matter, I'll take care of it alone." Ao Ye said lightly.

After a while, a soldier ran out in a hurry, with a happy face, and shouted, "Your Highness! This Liu Henian is really a corrupt official. We found many secret rooms, which are full of gold and silver treasures!"

The heaviness in Ao Ye's eyes eased a little, "Move it to the front of the government office, and order someone to guard it. Then go back and call the victims and government officials to the government office."

The little soldier didn't ask too many questions, and left when he got the order.

She Yanbai raised her head, squinted her eyes as she looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, "Ah Ye, if you are an emperor, you are probably a wise emperor who is rarely seen in thousands of years."

What he said was obviously a compliment, but the tone was wrong, making people wonder what the true meaning of his words was.

Ao Ye looked at She Yanbai, and felt that the person in front of him was a mass of cloud and mist, unable to see the details clearly, and the tentacles were extremely cold.

The front of the government yamen is full of gold and silver, and under the sunlight, there is a dazzling brilliance.

It just fooled the eyes of the victims. This is something that most of them will not be able to earn in a few lifetimes.

If it weren't for the tall soldiers with weapons guarding around, someone would have rushed forward, grabbed it and ran away.

"This amount is probably several times more than the relief money sent last time. It is really a misfortune for the court to have such a corrupt official, alas—" Li An heard the news and came to know that the countless gold and silver in front of him were just willows. It's just a small half of the New Year's property, and most of it hasn't been shipped yet, so I can't help but sigh.

The south is the most affluent place in the Eastern Qin Kingdom. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty often criticize the corruption of local officials in private. Li An has heard of it before, but it is not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.

"Everyone, Gu is the Crown Prince of Eastern Qin." Ao Ye stepped forward and stood with his hands behind his back, and said loudly after sinking into his dantian, "Gu will divide the gold and silver into two parts, one for buying rice seeds and other things, and one for buying rice seeds and other things. The share will be used as a reward for helping the government build dikes and rebuild the city."

As soon as this remark came out, the victims couldn't help being stunned, even Li An was stunned.

According to the usual practice, if manpower is needed to build dikes and cities, all you need to do is to submit a letter to the imperial court to issue corvees. Why have people been hired with money?Not only the Eastern Qin Kingdom, but also the surrounding countries have never had such a precedent.

"Your Highness, have you ever asked His Majesty for instructions on this move?" Li An said worriedly, feeling really troubled by the prince's own way of doing things.

Ao Ye looked back, his eyes were calm, "The power is urgent, and the most important thing right now is to restore the lives of the people as soon as possible. Moreover, these properties are obtained from Liu Henian's corruption. Since they were taken from the people, what's wrong with using them for the people now?"

Li An had nothing to say, so he could only nod his head, "What Your Highness said is very true."

The victims gradually regained their composure, looked at each other, and then became excited after finding someone they knew to confirm that what they had just heard was not an auditory hallucination.

With rice seeds and even a small amount of money, their lives can go on!The uneasiness in the eyes of the victims dissipated, and hope for life was rekindled in their hearts.

For a moment, the devastated Fucheng seemed not so scary anymore.

"Your Highness is merciful!"

"Your Highness is so kind!"

……

The victims fell to their knees one after another, shouting words of gratitude.

Under the emotional infection, even those who had a grudge against Ao Ye also shouted.

However, facing this situation, Ao Ye frowned, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw She Yanbai who was looking at him with his arms crossed and his arms crossed. "Yo, you are a kind person." She Yanbai approached him, her red lips pressed against his ear, and said with deep meaning, "So you are also a kind person, why didn't I see it earlier."

Ao Ye lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm not good, I'm just in my position and looking for a job."

His Majesty sent him to supervise and assist Li An in flood control and disaster relief, and all he is doing now is just doing his duty.And if the matter here is resolved one day earlier, he can take She Yanbai back to Beijing to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

She Yanbai didn't believe it, but when Ao Ye was quibbling, her eyes became colder when she looked at him, "In this world, good people never end well, I advise you to be a wicked person."

"It's the first time I've heard someone urging people to be evil." Ao Ye felt amused, "Yanbai, I don't know why you're angry, but I'm definitely not as kind as you think."

"It's best like this." She Yan covered her chest with her white hands, suppressed the surging emotions in her chest, and said with a frown, "Otherwise, sooner or later, I will collect your corpse!"

He stared at Ao Ye's familiar yet unfamiliar face, a deep sadness gradually appeared in his eyes, and before Ao Ye noticed it, he blinked lightly, and all of it was suppressed.
